Falcon Heavy & Starman
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- When Falcon Heavy lifted off, it became the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb)---a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel--Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy, at one-third the cost.
Following liftoff, the two side boosters separated from the center core and returned to landing site for future reuse.
Falcon Heavy put a Tesla Roadster and its passenger, Starman, into orbit around the sun. At max velocity Starman and the Roadster will travel 11 km/s (7mi/s) and travel 400 million km (250 million mi) from Earth.
Thanks for including the center core!!
Wintergatan what is a center core?
The central booster rocket, that sadly crashed into the ocean.
yes and now build your marble machine
but it did crash on the platform where it was supposed to land, right?!
Wintergatan can't wait to see more detailed videos of the MMX design process
SpaceX, to everyone involved, thank you for doing what you're doing. The benefit of your actions stretch far beyond the call for humanity to become inter-planetary. You're inspiring an entire generation to think in bold new ways. You're not only pushing the boundaries of human exploration, but of human imagination as well. The effects of your efforts today will shine on for centuries. From one human being to another, to many others, and for many others, I thank you. We thank you.
AntVenom ANTVENOM!!!!!!!
NOTICE ME SENPAI
AntVenom well said sir. You still understated the positive effect SpaceX is having on inspiration, history and human exploration! I don't think it can be put into words. Great try though. I completely agree :)
Oh cool its that minecraft guy

The most powerful tag one can create, "Made on Earth by Humans".
Well let’s not over see the fact. That for the case there is a other life form. They would know which planet the earth is and what humans are. This are only things humans call our planet and us ourself

Powerful and selfless. He included all humans, not just SpaceX. Love the guy.

yes like that 👄🖕
The twin boosters landing is still to this day the most amazing thing I've ever seen

SO FRAKIN TRUE!
Still brings a tear :)
Years later it is still awe inspiring

Why does the title refer to Starman??? The song is "Is There Life on Mars?".
Let's be honest. No other company is willing to say "Hold my beer" At the level that SpaceX can.
Engineerisaac everyone: $10 says you won’t shoot your car into space
Elon: hold my beer
Thats surprisingly how it actually went. It was not a bet but a twitter user pretty much dared him to do it. And we all know how musk acts on twitter.
TheExplodingChipmunk Yeah but most probably he already was planning to test it with something
SpaceX be like "what did you say about landing vertical boosters again?" and "I heard something along the lines of 'you don't make better rockets by strapping more boosters on'"
ROFL..
Those boosters landing is the most powerful feat of technology I've ever witnessed.
Best part of the video
True. Think about it it's a freaking 45m tall skyscraper falling from a height of 70kilometers down to earth!
@@dermax_hd honestly rockets are so massive.
Kinda reminds me of something you would see in metal gear solid

We have had major success with landing rockets
Im still watching it
The Universe have never seen before!

@@ErikUden broo how did u know
I was there at that historic event I quit my job for it, because they would not give me time off. I would recommend to everyone to go see when they lanch the next one. It is truly life changing and a feeling of ecstasy to see something that tectonic, and beautiful sour through the air in real life.
Ammon Stone I got a suspension from my school in the 1980's for taking two days off to watch the launch of the space shuttle... The first day it was scrubbed, the second day it launched. My problem was as a kid I thought they would be 'good to go' with my enthusiasm for space.... I was wrong...
I did however manage 8 years later to somehow complete my final in physics... So they were wrong too.
So I don't know your ex-employers... But they are dickheads. Fuck 'em...
It has always been folks like Musk and those that support him that have dragged the rest of humanity out of the african savanna, out of the caves, out of darkness. If it wasn't for folks like that, inspiring us, showing us what is possible... Well we'd all be back sitting on our ass banging rocks together to make fire.
Ammon Stone bro, i almost lost my job over it too. When they announced this, i knew i was going regardless. I drove from MI on a spontaneous trip and documented the whole thing. Check out my falcon heavy trip on my page. You will like how i edited launch day and Kennedy space center. By far the sickest spontaneous road trip ever.
There are some things in life that you just have to do, whatever the cost.
In 2011 I just got on a plane and flew over from Europe just to watch shuttle Endeavor's last launch.
Was delayed twice, changed my return ticket twice (2x $500), ended up staying a month, flew my girlfriend over to join me, travelled a lot, and then on the final day fell asleep on the causeway waiting for the launch after spending the night wandering around the space centre for hours!
Woke with my rib cage rattling from the rockets, just in time to see it disappear behind the clouds 2 seconds later!
Probably blew around $5000 on that whim, but was still worth it!
That's just great! Congrats on living your life to the full!
Ammon, great choice! A job is just a job, and experience like this can be inspiring and life-changing. I, too, was there, and I was amazed at the people who came from afar (Seattle, Canada, even France), and those were just the ones I talked to. I applaud your decision!
What I love about spacex is that they aren't afraid to talk about their mistakes. The fact that they showed the failure to land the core booster just shows that they know that they can always do better.

I will never get tired of this video.

True
Same. I just keep coming back to it every few weeks ^^
Finally get to see what happened to that center core
Could you explain?
They didn't reveal it crashed until a few hours later, and even then we never saw footage of the crash itself
This is the first time that SpaceX showed what happened to the main stage of the Falcon Heavy..... they had told us that it miss the Drone Ship but this is the first time showing it crash right next to it. I love how SpaceX shows the failures also.
Same i wanted to see it but couldn't find it.
Center core = Elon cheap CGI
1:11 Finally got to see the failed return. Thanks for releasing that footage.
i second this. not in a malicious way of "oh look it didn't work" but because i've been anxiously waiting to figure out what Elon meant by "hitting the pad at 300mph". either way it's not that bad that it didn't land. it still fulfilled its primary mission and attempted a landing that had never been done before. all good!
Transparency from a private company is always a breath of fresh air.
Yeah, it took them a while. All they had before was the footage from the drone ship that only captured a cloud of dust after the crash.
Kind of hard to spot the engines that didn’t re-ignite. At least nobody got hurt.
I mean real talk I think most people kind of knew that the fact they didn't show it meant it didn't land successfully. In the modern news era you just have to control the first round of coverage, the followup coverage will be significantly limited in scope.
I wish David Bowie could have seen this :(((

Buzz LightBeer I’m lean more to the left and I support NASA.
For some reason the most beautiful part of this video for me was the footage of the centre core crashing into that drone ship. The fact that Space X are open enough to share that footage in a promotional video just shows me how strong and genuine this company is...
All the way down to its core
*slow clap*
even though its been over a month thats too soon
*clap*
It shows that the mission was a success regardless. Even if everything is not perfect, they are still pushing things forward and breaking new ground!
I see what you did there.
Video of the year
*of all of human history.
It's def up there as one of my all time fav vids - a perfect combo of fantastic video editing and a bowie classic
#1 video on UA-cam.
Have never ever seen a better video than this.
Jeriku my god your like is the devils number
Stuff:
•It says "Don't panic" on the dash
•There's a hot wheels Tesla Roadster on the dash's centre.
•It has all the engineers' signatures that worked on the FH on the battery
•Obviously, he's named Starman (David Bowie reference. ). - also reminds me of Stig.
Also a Russel's teapot may or may not be on board.
"Late last year, Musk mused on Twitter that the Roadster will travel with a copy of the novel in the car’s glove box “plus a towel and a sign saying ‘Don’t Panic,’” a phrase that appears on the cover of the book."
@@ajedgar8299 Yeah foundation trilogy by Asimov on a quartz laser disc and towel are in the glove compartment. The Arch Foundation makes these discs and stores all sorts of human knowledge on them and sends them out with NASA probes to be preserved beyond Earth. Kinda like the golden record on Voyager 1 & 2.
This song isn’t Starman, it’s Life on Mars.
And it’s Elon’s personal Tesla Roadster, one of the first ever made. Truly one of a kind

Well not completely, on the live stream they were trying to cover it pretty bad =)
You know what, I'm fine with that, it was a great triumphant moment in space aviation and history in general, why ruin it :P
How do you know they are completely transparent? Please! They edited the live stream of the landings and were caught doing so, don't be so gullible.
Lol they lied on during the live stream, and froze the live camera to keep people from seeing their failure. Don't let yourself be cucked.

My grandmother was born in 1930, a person who always instilled in us a taste for knowledge and science, in her library she had albums and albums full of clippings from newspapers and magazines related to the beginning of the space race, the arrival of man to the moon (she was a teacher and borrowed a television from a local company so her students could watch the broadcast) until the beginning and end of the shuttle era. You would have seen her face when we saw those boosters together landing in that synchronicity, she turned to me and I could see those tears in her eyes from her emotion. She pass away last year, whenever I miss her I come to see this video. Thank you to the entire SpaceX team for what you have given us.
I think it is awesome that they included the lost center core footage in this video. SpaceX is not affraid or ashamed to admit and embrace their failures as well as their accomplishments. All part of the learning and innovating process. This video is a "10"! Love it!
But they did omit the centre core footage from the stream...
The Dark Spyder they lost signal with the cameras and the drone ship, but the cameras did record it fortunately
The live stream camera was lost. The footage shown is from a camera with an SD card.
+The Dark Spider
Signal from the droneship always fails in varying degrees, something about the soundwaves shaking the antenna until they cant transmit. However the cameras have a backup SD card so that they can recover the full footage once they reach port.
Dan Detweiler The rocket ran out of spark propellant, they were so close!

Yep was expecting a comment like this at the top.
It looks both sad and promising. I mean, yeah, it crashed. But the delta v isn't that high, the accuracy is on point and the impact is surprisingly mellow.
They were very open about what happened. It basically ran out of fuel. Part miscalculation, and part pointing out the difficulty of what they are attempting to do.
I bet the next one performs flawlessly. Like good scientists everywhere they're just as excited about failure as success, because that's how learning happens.

Watching those 2 Falcon 9's land synchronously never gets old. Such an amazing sight. I get goosebumps every time.
I really don't comment much on videos, but I had to for this one. What a special experience I shared with my wife and girls as we hooted and hollered watching that historic launch. My Dad watched the original Apollo missions as a boy and told me he cried during the Falcon Heavy launch because of the unifying impact it had on everyone watching it, just as it did during the Apollo era. He felt like a little boy again. We have truly entered into a new golden era of space travel thanks largely to SpaceX, but so many other companies are in the race now; the more the merrier I say. With the promise or more exciting things to come, what a amazing time to be alive!
I was born in the right generation!
The Apollo missions were on network TV. I had to program a TV at the bar to get the UA-cam stream for Falcon Heavy. But once I did that, most of the bar huddled around the single TV to watch it. The more things change, the more they stay the same I guess ;)

Dear Elon Musk, and the entire Space X crew and staff,
I am a 15 year old, who was interested mainly in aviation all my life. I remotely knew some stuff about space exploration but not much. Then I started to hear about this private company making wakes in the space industry. I remember seeing in the news the first booster to finally land back on earth from space, and I thought to myself, "Wow, that's pretty cool." You have opened my eyes to a whole new world, and I also want to thank you all for the sacrifices you guys put in day in and day out. The hard work you guys do is greatly appreciated. I also wanted to add one last bit. Thank you for giving my generation such great memories. I will always remember the Falcon Heavy, and I hope one day to become a settler of Mars.
Once again, thank you Elon Musk, and Space X.
I'm 16 and when I saw my first livestream from SpaceX (Thaicom 8) in 2016, it inspired the heck out of me in space exploration. I now have a completely different perspective on space travel since finding this company.
Ethan Roberts, yeah. It does that to you.

To people thinking I'm talking about the car being launched in space.. no. It's the rocket technology I'm talking about. Rockets landing themselves, almost in perfect sync with each other.
Na. To see a human standing on the moon was cooler, but watching those boosters landing like synchronized divers made me stand up and start cheering. Awesome!
The moon landing was of course awesome, but in retrospect it was just a PR stunt, not many useful things came out of it. What SpaceX does is not just cool videos and great achievements, the most important thing is what these launches will make possible in the near future.
Andras, so launching a car with cameras into orbit was not a pr stunt?
Buzz LightBeer Yeah but not just one
You guys are missing the point. The payload wasn't the coolest thing, and I'd even venture to say the rocket wasn't either. The fact that they can launch, recover, and reuse such a MASSIVE rocket, with equally massive payload, is a revolutionary occurrence that opens the door to manned missions beyond our moon. What we witnessed that day was not just a cool ass rocket launch, but a tipping point in human history.
I come back to this video a few times a year for quarterly refills of my hope in humanity.

I saw the voyager photos of Saturn and Uranus live as they came in. Seeing this launch and especially seeing those two boosters landing in tandem ranks no lower than second on the list. Right after "One small step...". I was almost to the point of cheering as loudly as the crowd at SpaceX headquarters. It still brings tears to my eyes every time I see it. This was very special. It is good to see that somebody in this country still knows that doing it right beats doing it on schedule.
Seeing the young workers and engineers at SpaceX so happy that the rocket made with their own hands finally flew, and did so well, was very special. It was a surprisingly emotional event...
Title “Starman”
Song “Is there life on Mars”
**confused screaming**
Niemand david bowie (made life on mars) made a song called Starman
@@Lizard_Workshop the songs name is starman
@@veewee4826 The song's name is "Life on Mars?"
Starman is a completely different song.
@@tiadaid starman is the mannequin in the roadster
@A Random Atheist repent or hellfire
"Look at those cavemen go" indeed! We've come a long way.
love this comment ❤👍
LOL
I read this as he sung the lyric
Hey Wheatley u okay? Wheres space core
My father woke me in the middle of the night I must of been nearly 4 to watch Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. At the time obviously I didn’t really realise what I was watching, or the enormity of it. But I knew it was important, my dad also didn’t realise that he had sparked an interest in space and space exploration thats lasted with me ever since. Mark my words, what is happening now with Musk, Bezos and Bigelow you will be telling your grandkids about and people 100/200 years in the future will be talking about this period in time like we do about the industrial revolution. It is, an awesome time to be alive, savour every moment!
muppetnumpty65....well said !
I 100% agree! What a fantastic time to be witness to!
I'll do something better.. I'll actually be one of those people. Then you can tell your grandkids about me too!!
That's a neat story
You believe the moon landing was possible or faked for political reasons? Buzz aldrin said we never went there
Elon, you've given hope to a generation. bless you
Totally agree.
elon is just like steve jobs, he tells other people to make it, but he cant make it himself
Don't see anyone else offering a heavy + class rocket (super heavy in partially and fully expendable) for under 100b
Harry Henderson Except he HAD to do it himself in the beginning with Falcon 1 and even now.
America is winning again!
This is probably the best video on UA-cam.
What a pretty little video. I'm old enough to remember watching the Apollo moon launches. I watched the live webcast of the Falcon Heavy launch, and my heart was pounding like a jackhammer during the last minute of the countdown. I don't think I took a breath until Stage 2 ignition. This was right up there with the most exciting launches I've ever seen.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this was the first time in history that a rocket put a payload into solar orbit on its first test flight. Magnificent. Congratulations, SpaceX!
rickl3000 you think the Falcon Heavy was exciting? Wait til the BFR flies ;)
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.
that landing was smoother than my handwriting
Same
even all the spacex fails were smoother than my handwriting
The center core?
Remember showing this to one of my older teachers. He said one thing that made me realize how much SpaceX has achieved. He said "Rockets aren't supposed to do that" when reacting to the two boosters landing together. Damn right they're not supposed to but here we are. Go Elon, Go SpaceX, and Go Humans.
If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; but if he says that it is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
Arthur C. Clarke
This in my opinion is one of the greatest achievements ever
This is the launch that opened my eyes, I am along for the ride now
hear hear! Never missed a launch since, scouting the news for SpaceX since lol :)
+Been Skilled I feel bad for whoever wrote that schizophrenic rant, but you're doing them no service by spreading it. If you're a friend of theirs, try to have them seek help.
SpaceXNow app as helped me with that :D
This launch deadass made me cry
Amen.
Can't watch SpaceX videos without cutting onions.
1:11 bye bye center core! we barely knew you
It was like: YOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! :DDDDDDDD
@@DamianReloaded Right in the drink.
It now lands as well, just like the side boosters 💙
@@singingmyblue8000 and it fell off the droneship :(
Just going to comment this here - this is my favorite UA-cam video ever. When I first watched it years ago, it had a huge impact on me… now I can’t listen to Bowie without thinking of space. Bravo!
*Made on Earth by humans* 🤗♥️
That literally made my eyes water when I first saw it.
Made in the United States by Americans to be more specific 🇺🇸❤️
This video and that little detail was probably 100% made the “normal person” Elon musk
The bulk of that Roadster was made at the Lotus factory in Hethel, England. And they had Bowie playing instead of the Star-Spangled Banner. I approve of this. Remember, when we landed on the moon we planted a US flag-but we also left a plaque saying, "We came in peace for all mankind."
Zobeid Zuma that’s actually really amazing
Inspiring and amazing, as always. Never change SpaceX.
Endyo change for good
I can't show this to my friends because I always end up in tears
I have just shared this video with a friend and I'm in tears too!
INSOFT Hi. There have been designed the most powerful ON EARTH mechanical (not hydraulic) press, of at least 100,000t, by the elderly inventor alone. But do you think they say "wow! I want that press at every cost!"? The cost is not "every", by the way. Don’t you feel the irony of the moment? We’ve left the stone age just now, for the age of the regular space flights! The 100,000 press machine is a hallmark of the new era.... But they do not burst into tears in great excitement. They're too busy: the dreams about the future, you know. How ON EARTH they're going to build all these projects without developing heavy industries and promoting such great inventors and inventions!?
If you'd like to support the inventor and his powerful project, please contact me.
Exactly.
stil try to watchs tis whit out tears fall again
🥺 Same!
This was the peak of the 2010s no contenders
Yes launching a car into space == best thing humanity did in the 2010s.
Advanced genome editing research that could change the future of our species and save lives? Nahhh boring.
@@symbolitical4158 they literally dual landed two boosters at once this was the peak of the 2010s
I can barely wait for the BFR!
MusiCanines - The Musical Dogs I didn't do any part osf this awesome machine, but when I read "Made on Earth by humans" I felt proudly...
Yeah, only a year or so until they start testing it hopefully. I wont be holding my breath though. BFR construction & development could take longer & SpaceX has had their share of delays the past few years.
The Falcon Heavy rocket is being assembled right now. The BFR is being assembled also.
MusiCanines - The Musical Dogs Me too XD
Falcon heavy: 63 ton on LEO, 16.8 ton on mars, 3.5 ton on pluto...
BFR: 150 tons wherever you want, 150 tons on mars, 150 tons on pluto, even in the ass of kim jong un !
As a 14 year old, this is probably the biggest technological event that has happened in my life. But possibly, the greater achievement of this event is inspiring so many younger children. Thank you Elon for letting us experience this. (Thanks for all the likes!)
I commented earlier that I'm 60 years old and watched the Apollo moon launches live. I watched the live webcast of the Falcon Heavy launch and it was utterly thrilling.
The Space Age is just starting to get interesting! :)
To put it another way, I got to see the early years of the Space Age when it was all beginning, and I wouldn't trade that for anything. But you're going to see it come to fruition, and that is very exciting.
I would say we're on the verge of a space renaissance, the genie went out of the bottle with the success of Falcon Heavy. The game has changed.
For those of us who haven't seen the glory days of Apollo in person, now there's a real chance of a permanent return to the moon and landing on Mars in the not so distant future. Something i have wished to see my entire life.
rickl3000 I'm 30 now and the new generation will get to experience what you experienced back then. The excitement is so real. Tears of joy
Rooo Rooo REALLY! Netflix is nothing compared to this
I love how the center core just instantly sank in an anticlimactic splash 3ft away from the ship
IneptOrange anticlimactic? It hit at 300mph. You wouldn’t have said it was anticlimactic if you were anywhere near it lol.
randomjasmic But it just crumpled into the ocean lmao
IneptOrange yep, its designed to fall into the ocean by default so the droneship isnt damaged
Vivek Baskaran unfortunately it still took out 2 of the droneships engines
not really, it didnt have enough liquid to perform the landing, so it missed
I still get emotional when I see this. Even 6 years later
same here
SpaceX has the best GoPro videos.
They are literally out of this world. And I think I'm using the word literally in the proper context too.
Yes beside that they don't use go pros anymore.
i dont think space x is using gopro
they use "gopro like" cameras "Elon"
elzeus13 yup
Me: *Watches this for the 150th time*
Also me: Oh it's beautiful *Cries*
ive never related so much
Same
I can't watch this without tearing up. It gives me so much hope and wonder for the future i'm awed to have seen this amazing feat.
Same
The "Made on earth by humans" really got me.
Indeed... makes you think that maybe, one day, we will get over our differences and start aiming towards becoming a multi-planetary species, a lot of sci-fi turned reality, and we have the chance to see it begin in our lifetimes due to SpaceX...
Started tearing up about halfway through. Something about the man looking up at the ginormous rocket boosters at 1:43 made me lose it. We’re a species on a small dot in the vastness of space and we yell and scream at each other…for what?
Things like this give me hope for humanity. Thank you, Elon. Thank you, SpaceX.
Even a year after the launch, watching the video on the body running goosebumps. I am proud of our civilization. Thank you Ilon Musk. Greetings from Russia🚀🇷🇺🇺🇲
sorry but why do you look like a wider Rick Astley
Bcz he is russian like me
This gives me hope 👍🏻
*IKR NEXT STEP: PROXIMA CENTAURI*
Establishing a base on Mars with the ability to come back to Earth would already be great ^^"
Fuzzy Puppet i
Hope for what?
TheBlacktom For space colonization? The research of a new home for humanity?
The "Made on Earth by Humans" got me. It's the small things like that NASA would never do that really shows Elon isn't in it for the money or anything.
Thank you SpaceX and Elon Musk, for doing this. While the original goal of the company, gaining public interest in space again, has long been fulfilled, you are constantly setting new goals including putting humans on Mars within a decade! I sincerely appreciate everything you guys do. Props to the entire team at SpaceX for making this possible.
Thank you.
MCommandguy NASA did that a lot of time bro, voyager 1 and 2 doesn't mean anything for you ?
ahh the power of marketing
MCommandguy Not true. Nasas missions are often full of easter eggs tributes and more.
Well... he's in it for the money too. You can't make something like this happen without the promise of money being made, at least not as a private venture. But he understands that it can't be _just_ about that.
I heard the Enterprise shuttle was originally going to be The Constitution but was renamed due to Star Trek.
I was today years old when I learned that "Witnessing something awe inspiring" can be used to counteract stress. This is my Go To "Awe inspiring" moment in history. Works like a charm :)
